Baja Beer Battered Mango “Fish” Tacos
GET READY TO COOK
Method
1. Gently wash the banana blossom to remove any excess brine; dry on paper towels. In a bowl, toss with Mexican Chilli Paste; cover and leave to marinate for at least 30 mins in the chiller.
2. In the meantime, make the dressing by whisking Mexican Chilli Orange Paste with vegan mayonnaise until well combined; set aside.
3. For the slaw, toss the coleslaw mix with Mexican Chilli Orange Paste and lime juice; set aside.
4. Once marinated, cut the banana blossom into 2 inch pieces. To prepare the batter, first ensure the beer is ice cold. Mix the flour and baking powder in a bowl and pour in the beer; mix well until thick and smooth. Coat each piece with batter and deep fry for around 2 mins, turning halfway, until golden all over. Drain on a paper towel.
5. Assemble by spreading each tortilla with dressing. Top with “fish” pieces, slaw, diced mango and coriander. Serve 2 tacos as a portion with lime wedge.
